such a lovely assortment of colors. i haven’t tried a single one of your top five. pilot iroshizuku is definitely my favorite ink brand with take-sumi being my favorite. having a black ink as my favorite surprised me like you were surprised by some of your favorites. enjoy your journey for the next six months! 😊

I love it when you say J. Herbin like a proper French man. 😅 I've been into brown inks, but orange inks have piqued my interest as of late. Thanks for showing the orange one from JH...might need to pick that one up. Curious if you've tried the Pilot Iroshizuku Yu-Yake. That was the orange ink that made me want to delve into this color after all the browns I've collected.

oh wow yea, Higurashi is so pretty!

I have a tiny bottle that Orange Indien and have not even tried it! Must get to it. Still want a bottle of Three Kings.

Uhhh i wish i could get my hands on that green ink! It is lovely

these are such lovely inks! thanks for sharing!

I've realised that i work best on a monthly set up. I track my work shifts and appointments. These are some fun things to try!

Hello. I really struggled to see the inks most of the time on this video as it was quite zoomed out. It was great when you zoomed in but otherwise the writing is too small (i wear specks) and the ink too dense to really catch the hue. Sorry to be such a whiner but I would have found this immensely useful if it had been closer. Great selection though

Lovely choices, I'm not really into orange but I really like the look of that Orange Indien. Greys are always my favourite so Kiri-Same is lovely. That green is gorgeous.

Thanks for sharing!!!

I think it’s great that you’re thinking about what has worked and what has not to make a considered choice for next year. The Take a Note is so simple that I think you could easily replicate its layout in any of the a5 books that you currently own (to save you from buying/shipping). Even though I have no plans to switch anything- I’d like to see more videos on the Papertess planner. Just to look😂

I used a TAN A5 as a work planner for 2 years; it was the perfect planner for my old job! I do kind of miss it. I’m currently using a B6 Sterling Ink Common Planner as my journal, this is my second year using it for this purpose; I love the structure of the weekly pages and the freedom of the blank pages at the back. I can journal as little or as much as I want without having to restrict myself to a certain amount of pages. For me, this flexibility has been amazing! Enjoy your new TAN!

I used the TAN A6 for the first half of the year as well. It worked ok, except I liked to see my whole week on 2 pages. Ended up getting the B6 for the second half of the year.

Thank you very much, this is quite helpful for me :)

I’m so excited to see how the TAN takes shape as you continue using it! I like how simple and clean their layout is, and the single column with decoration feels very approachable. I love full pages, so I think if I tried to use the A5 for journalling, it’d be too much for me to maintain a daily basis. Also, I’m with you on the heat - we just got through a heat wave in Toronto and I’ve realized that it’s me (and my skin) in a mood while it’s happening. My ideal temp is 8-15 C 😅 🍂🍁

Can’t wait to see the TAN in action! Also to validate you, I’ve also been suffering in the heat and totally agree with the entire rant about the weather 🥲

I like the idea of the Take a Note planner, but I'm wondering if I would like the week on two spreads... but I would use it for planning, so maybe that's the problem.

I'm curious if your current system in the SI is not working? I know you mentioned you wanted to try other planners for next year, but is the current one not effective?

I use TAN in 2023 and love it but i need more space to decorate or do any paper collage so i use jibun techo days this year

Hi Ru! I’m also really intrigued by the TAN as a journal so it’s cool to see that you’ve gotten one for that purpose :) I look forward to your mid-year system update!

Thanks for sharing! I love your Videos! I was thinking of getting another planner too! But I am not sure what to use it for?

This looks really great. That marbled paper is so pretty! Congratulations on passing 2k subscribers too - I'm glad to see more people are discovering your channel!

So pretty! I do own celadon cat, love it, but I blame it on you that now I want chichen itza! 😜🤓

Great selection 💙

I love that yellow Sailor ink. I need to add it to my sample list. This is a lovely palette and I think the neutral brown helps anchor/ground it.

I’m in the southern hemisphere and I have lots of brights inked up with a couple of dark colours too. I love so many of these colours. ❤

Satisfying.

Great video as always! So relaxing.

Beautiful colors. I added Florida Blue to my wishlist after I watched your swatch video.

I'd like to add Colorverse Life on Mars and Robert Oster Muddy Swamp to this list. Really nice muted grey blues with good shading.

I enjoy Chopin and Blizzard, too. Celadon Cat is on the dry side. This was a treat to watch. Thank you for sharing.

my favourites are the ones I already own (Celadon Cat & Chichen Itza plus Blizzard) and the ones on my wish list - Blue'Tea when I can afford the postage & Storied Blue. Thank you for sharing with us as always 🤩

this is such a lovely collection of blues! thank you for sharing as always!

Thank you! I am not so much a lover royal blue inks, blue in general… Blue blacks and blue greys seems more interesting to me. Looking forward to try some of these colors.

Thank you for sharing as always! I am on the fence about blue inks >.< Blue tea is my favorite, swatched here in this video.

Lovely inks! I have to admit like @oon4611 said, I don't have a lot of FP blue inks because of the same reason. But, I've begun to explore more teal and gray blue inks.

As someone who for the longest time hated blue inks, as they feel cheap to me (and that's only because every ballpoint pen has that god awful blue color), I've started to love them. My own favorite is the Taccia Ukiyo-e Hiroshige Ainezu. It's the perfect blue for me, dark enough to be easily legible and have that gorgeous classy feel to it. From your collection, the Chopin by Diamine is catching my eye!

I love how your insert turned out! Thank you for sharing this relaxing video. You have a very clean and calming decorating style. Would love to hear how your digital declutter goes as well. I’ve been trying to do one for years, and keep giving up (much like physical declutters I attempt). I think following along your journey will help motivate me! 😅

I tried to do something like this in the beginning of the year. Maybe if I decorate it I will be more attracted to using it?

Discovered your videos recently and I’ve been really enjoying them! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing!!! I Love your videos

What speedball brand are you using?

Gorgeous colour pallet That sailor has my name!!! I need to get it!
